I believe there is more that unites us than 39 us. My mother came to the US from India. She is 40 enough that she got her service 41 in a diner in 1960s Dallas. My father is a white boy from Indiana whose 42 came from Germany in the mid-1800s. It seems 43 to admit now, but I never 44 that my parents were different colors. One day, I watched my parents walk 45 the street of our church together. They were 46 in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands 47 together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents 48 I realized their skin color. I'm sorry to say that now when I see a mixed-race 49 walking down the street, I see the "mixed race" first and the "couple" second. When my parents married in 1966, there were 50 places in this country that had laws 51 mixed marriage. 52 , my white grandfather, 53 father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage. Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others 54 . Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all 55 . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the same.

London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been ―filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as common place on our roads as black cabs and red buses‖. However， there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday． the On first day some people found they couldn‘t dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered． Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few ―teething problems‖ and have said they wouldn‘t charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill” Some other people ． have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles． Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things，saying， “My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a gigantic pedal-powered push forwards． ” 56．Which is the correct order of a bike hire？ a．pay a usage charge according to the time b．pay for the key c．cycle in and around central London d．sign up as a member to get a key A．b-d-c-a B．b-c-a-d C．d-c-b-a D．d-b-c-a 57．Which of the following is NOT the ―teething problems‖ of the scheme？ A．People were unable to lock properly． B．People could not dock the bikes properly． C．People had no enthusiasm about the scheme． D．It‘s too expensive for some people to hire a bike． 58．From the passage we know __________． A．the ?cycling revolution‘ failed once started B．the scheme will be put off due to the problems C．all the citizens in London are in favor of the scheme D．the London Mayor has great confidence in the scheme B Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural environments, often in mountainous or other scenic terrain (地形). People often hike on hiking trails. It is such a popular activity that there are numerous hiking organizations worldwide. It is considered one of the recreational activities. Many people say they go hiking because they love to walk outdoor, without necessarily having a destination ahead of them. This makes hiking much more different than walking down the street to the store or to some other places that we need to go. People who like hiking say, "We

enjoy ourselves along the way whether we arrive somewhere important or not.‖ Some people add another reason for hiking to the basic one of loving to be outdoors. These folks see hiking as not only mentally healthy for clearing the mind but also physically healthy as great exercise for the body. Unlike some other exercise programs, hiking can be an activity for almost anyone in reasonably good health. Hiking on a smooth, level path is even good exercise. Trudging (跋涉) over rougher terrain can be a workout and a time of enjoyment at the same time. Some people who hike on a regular basis give little thought to the exercise part of the activity. These people are more likely to go hiking because they are exploring nature. They may be interested in the trees or the rocks. Perhaps they are interested in looking at the birds or the various animals that lodge in the forest or the park. Certainly park land is ideal for hiking. Many of these sites have marked for hiking. This leads many to take part in hiking specifically for the exercise and enjoyment of being outdoors, when they may not do this otherwise. Some people look at hiking as having two major benefits. When asked why they go hiking in their spare time many people will combine these reasons: It helps me relax; it doesn't take a great investment of money for equipment. For them, a good pair of shoes and some comfortable clothes can help them get away from work or other stressful situations that may arise in life. In many cases, these hikers can enjoy their favorite pastime all year long. They may be able to take those outdoor walks in almost any weather. It's safe to say that hiking can heal and please the human being in many ways. 59. Which of the following sayings can describe the people who like hiking in Paragraph 2? A. Where there is a will there is a way. B. You will never reach your destination if you stop. C.A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. D. Life is a journey, not a destination. 60. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. It will cost you a lot of money, when you go hiking. B. Hiking is suitable for workers who work a long time every day. C. Hiking is a sport that you can enjoy yourself most in spring. D. Hiking cannot be affected by weather. 61. What is the text mainly about? A. The popularity of hiking in the world today. B. The reasons why people go hiking. C. Hiking's benefits for health. D. Making your hiking plan before going outdoors. 62. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?

C Just as the world‘s most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming. Countless recent reports from the world‘s leading scientific bodies have said the same thing. For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: ―There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity.‖ The idea that humans could change the planet‘s climate may be counter-intuitive, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket. Of course, the planet‘s climate has always been changing thanks to ―natural‖ factors such as changes in solar or volcanic activity, or cycles relating the Earth‘s going around the sun. According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes. Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so

far, that would beg a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change, ―If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why aren‘t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?‖ The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn‘t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty. 63. In most scientists‘ opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by ________. A. solar activity B. volcanic activity C. the Earth‘s going around the sun D. human activity 64. The text is developed by ________. A. giving typical examples B. following the order of space C. analyzing a theory and arguing it D. comparing and finding differences 65. The underline word ―identical‖ means ________. A. totally different B. exactly the same C. extremely important D. relatively independent 66. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific? B. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to? C. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming? D. What‘s Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases? D The future of agriculture must achieve several goals at the same time． First, it now appears that we will have to double world food production in the next 40 years due to population growth, increasing meat consumption and pressure from biofuels （生物燃料） . We will also have to reduce the environmental impacts from our farming practices, which have caused widespread damage to soils, ecosystems, waters and even the atmosphere. In fact, agriculture‘s impacts are as bad as climate change as an environmental concern. Besides, we will have to improve food security for the world‘s poor. While the Green Revolution of the 1960s made it possible to feed hundreds of millions more people than in earlier eras, the number of the under-nourished in the world has started to rise again. Finally, we will have to increase th e recovering ability of agriculture from shocks. Today, our high-efficiency, globalized world has many benefits, but it is vulnerable （易受伤的） to destruction, whether from droughts, diseases or sudden price rises． We must start building better food systems to better keep us away from future shocks． Currently, there are two models of agriculture: local and organic agriculture vs. globalized and industrialized agriculture． Each has been strongly supported and severely criticized, but neither of these models, standing alone, can fully meet our needs． Organic agriculture teaches us important lessons about soils, nutrition and pest management. Unfortunately, organic food provides less than 1% of the world‘s calories, mostly to the wealthy. It is hard to imagine organic farming developing to feed 9 billion. Globalized and industrialized agriculture has benefits of high output and low labor demands. Without it, billions of people would have starved. However, it has come with enormous environmental and social costs, which cannot be sustained. Rather than voting for just one solution, we need a third way to solve the crisis. Let‘s take ideas from both sides, creating new, hybrid solutions that increase production, save resources and build a more sustainable agriculture． There are many promising avenues to pursue． A new ―third way‖ for agriculture is not only possible but also necessary. Our problems are huge, and they will require everyone at the tab le, working together toward solutions. 67．How many goals of agriculture are mentioned in the passage? A．Three B．Four C．Five D．Six 68． Which is true according to the passage?

非选择题（共 35 分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） Have you heard or read stories about people who are sick and have been healed by listening to music? Is it a miracle or a successful form of medicine? Can listening to music relieve pain? Around the world，music therapy(疗法) is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain，such as in childbirth or during cancer treatments，or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or money loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities. Children can move their bodies with the music and stamp along to the beat. Why is music a useful therapy? Music is soothing and relaxing, but it also stimulates our brains. Emotionally and physically, we respond to the sounds of music. But the complexity of music(the different tempos，rhythms，melodies and harmonies) provokes(激发)the biggest response. Thus，classical music is most typically used for therapies due to complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or hip hop might be fun to listen to，it‘s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people，helping relieve stress and anxiety. Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal disease? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins(内啡肽). Endorphins are the body‘s natural painkillers，and when we listen to music，our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of the babies who have just been born and even babies still in the mother‘s womb. Certain types of music have also been found to lower blood pressure and slow a person‘s heart rate. Many people are hopeful that music could replace the need for some medications(药物)that are normally used to treat certain illnesses. At present，music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals， rehabilitation centers，nursing homes，day cares，and schools. Although music therapy is not yet considered a mainstream treatment，it is recognized more and more as a useful addition to traditional treatment. So next time you are feeling low or stressed out，put on some relaxing music and let the music heal you.

Since then, she has been training hard and overcoming whatever difficulty. She won two gold medals at the 2012 London Olympic Games. It is her great determination that has led her to success. In my opinion, determination is very important in our lives. It encourages us to move forward, especially during our hard times. This quality enables us to face difficulty bravely and never run away from it. Thus we can stick to our goals and succeed eventually. It is not easy to cultivate determination. Above all, we must hold a belief that everyone has the potential to achieve success. We shouldn‘t be discouraged when faced with setbacks. Actually, failure can teach us a lot. What‘s more, there are quite a few people with this spirit around us. We can learn a lot from them.
